A Step in the Right Direction

Take a walk back in time by commemorating a couple's first steps as man and wife. Chicago-based artist Alexander Doll set scenes of wedded bliss in the context of a classic print announcement that is as stunningly unique as it is timeless. This nostalgic print hearkens back to the nuptial announcements of yesteryear with its sharp, sanserif typography, and hand-sketched illustrations featuring the dashing groom escorting his elated bride down the aisle past family, friends, and acquaintances. Alexander incorporates personal details, such as the venue, city, date, the couple's names, and even the color of their tresses, to give each print a warm, personal touch. A sophisticated way to fete an unforgettable occasion, this inspired gift captures the couple's version of their fairytale while giving them a stylish and whimsical work of art to remember the thrill of the day with every passing glance. Printed on archival paper using archival pigment ink in Ohio.

Arrives ready to hang in a matte black frame made from a wood called Eucalyptus grandis sourced from Brazil.

Alexander Doll

Not one to give an impersonal place setting or set of towels, Alexander looked for something more original to give his friends as a wedding gift. Already a successful commercial artist, Alexander decided to create something himself, something that his friends would cherish forever -- and so the Custom Alexander was born. It started out as a gift, a piece of personalized art to commemorate their special day; it turned into thriving business.

As more people saw these creative gifts, the requests started flooding in. Much to Alexander's surprise, future brides wanted to display their own Custom Alexander at their wedding for their family and friends to enjoy.

Today, the collection has grown to include a children's collection and a diverse array of products. Now, you can have your own Custom Alexander Doll print.
